With an intricate string of connections, it offers mystery, drama, and the will to survive--good people forced to come together as the bad ones always hover--overcoming obstacles with the power of family and prayer.
The historical events are real. The locations exist. Some characters are derived from people living in the era. Most are fictional, written to make a lasting impression.
